Ok, for those of you EVIL BASTARDS... who are using macs to play minecraft and don't know how to back up the 1.73 file, I may have the answer. Bare in mind, though, this may only work Snow Leopard and you have to make sure that you haven't updated to 1.8 yet. This might work on Lion but I don't have Lion so I can't test it. Here are the steps

1) Go into Finder

2) In the left column, click the button under "Desktop". This button should be what you named your computer when you first got it

3) Open the "Library" folder

4) Open the "Application support" folder

5) Copy the "minecraft" folder

6) Paste the "minecraft" folder on your desktop

Now feel free to update your client and, when you want to switch back to 1.7 either to get on the server or just to remind your self of the days when cows didn't run away when you hit them with a sword, just go through steps 1 through 4 and replace the 1.8 folder with 1.7.

Ok, so I postponed the fantasy draft to this coming saturday because we only had 3 people, including me, sign up. Helldome, I need your e-mail if you want to play. BustaCapps and kermit, please check your e-mail. If we don't get more, I won't be able to do this.

Hey oh! Been a long time since I brought this up but EpicBlob reminded me at school today that I had to take care of this. This will be a Yahoo league (kermit, suck it up :D). These people need to e-mail their preferred e-mails (to lanflan@comcast.net) or comment on this post their preferred e-mail : EpicBlob, rtkermit, Nikewarrior, Helldome, and BustaCapps. I ask that you get me these e-mails in the next 3 days because I plan to have the draft this Sunday around 3 p.m Eastern Standard time. Another question, would you guys prefer Head-to-Head (every week, you would compete against someone else in the league) or we could do Points only (every week, you get points for your players successes and they add up until the last week. Whoever has the most, wins). Cool? cool.

Thank you,

Landon (freddiekclarke or SaintLandon)

hey we need a trial for zeeco just reminding everyone

Now this is what I call The Word of Notch. The man himself gives a quick, 8 minute tour of some of the changes we can expect in the 1.8, which we can expect in the next couple of weeks:

Of course creative mode is back and we get a quick look at that. There are some huge improvements. For single-player mod lovers, it might look a lot like survival mode with Too Many Items and Single Player Commands installed, as far as full "creative" access to world editing but with more of a "living, breathing" world to inhabit than the relatively sterile (and now defunct) classic mode.

And although it's "The Adventure Update" we don't say good bye to survival. But there are changes and tweaks. Check out the video and decide for yourself what kind of potential the new terrain and combat features have got for your Minecraft experience. But why are you listening to me? You're not still reading this are you? There's a video up there with a Let's Play Minecraft 1.8 hosted by Notch in it, for corn's sake. Why have you not clicked on it?
